Eighth-grade students at the Emma C. Attales Middle School will be spending February seeking to bolster their understanding of people with developmental disabilities.
The R-word Developmental Disabilities Project was kicked off Thursday, Jan. 26 when representatives of the Arc of Atlantic County spent three hours with students here.
“The project promotes tolerance and acceptance through experience,” teacher Barbara Horner said. “Students will work with members of the state and county advocacy group for the Arc to eradicate the use of the R-word in everyday speech.”
